The Rancilio Epoca features commercial quality components like a three-way solenoid valve for maximum heat retention and an oversized brass boiler with a heat exchanger. It has plenty of power for steaming and frothing time after time.

With its easy-to-read controls and color-coded pressure gauge, the Epoca clearly informs you of when the water or boiler pressure is low. The Epoca has separate steam and hot water knobs that are easy to turn and sit on the front of the machine. The steam control features a C-Lever (Rancilio Patent). The new steam valve with a special control knob and ergonomic design is complete with open-stay and open-close functions. The valve is operated by rotating the knob just 25°. Turning it upwards, it opens and remains in this position. By turning downwards, the user can regulate steam intensity. When released, the valve closes automatically. Both the steam and hot water wand swivel on a ball-joint – therefore can be used with almost any size cup or frothing pitcher.

Commercial-Grade Group Handles and Brew Group - The Epoca comes with a heavy-duty single spout and double spout group handle. They are chrome-plated brass so are excellent for temperature stability throughout the brewing process. This commercial brew group also provides excellent heat stability as well as component longevity.

Boiler - A large 4 litre heat exchanger boiler is included on this Italian espresso machine. With the power of a heat exchanger boiler, you can switch back and forth between brewing and steaming with no down time. Plus, its large size means there's more time between refills.

Solenoid valve - The Rancilio Epoca features a commercial three-way solenoid valve. This valve relieves the machine of water pressure, allowing you to brew again almost immediately. A solenoid valve also removes more water from the coffee puck – making it easier to empty the group handle.

High Quality Controls - The Epoca, despite being a Prosumer machine, features simple to use controls. A rocker switch turns on the power to the machine. To keep you informed during use, the Rancilio Epoca has two indicator lights that monitor the machine's operation. When the boiler is full and the machine is operating normally, a green light illuminates near the power rocker switch. A yellow light appears when the water level is low and needs to be filled. The Epoca also features a temperature ready light to let you know when the machine has reached proper brewing temperatures.

Cup Warmer - Since warm cups are an essential part of enjoying delicious espresso, the cup warmer on the Rancilio Epoca is heated passively by the internal large boiler, and accommodates more than a dozen cups. By brewing directly into warm cups, you won’t loose precious temperature that can alter the taste and quality of your espresso.

Hot Water Dispenser - In addition to steaming and frothing, the Epoca includes a separate dispenser for hot water for tea, hot chocolates etc. Just turn the knob above the dispenser and hot water is poured into your waiting cup.
